Carpenter (1821-1906), the editor of "The Wisconsin Patriot," while an 
ardent Abolitionist, deplored the conduct and wartime decisions of Abraham 
Lincoln. His play in verse at the end (pp. 333-342), "The Irrepressible 
Conflict," includes "The Principal Acts in the Life of Abraham the First." The first 
edition of this work was published in pamphlet form. This "Second Edition" 
is actually the first edition published as an expanded book.
